We ask that you complete the patient registration, medical and dental history forms, before your visit.

Featured Services

The procedures we provide range from a single tooth reconstruction to complete dental reconstruction.

Initial Visit

Prosthodontics is one of the eight dental specialties recognized by the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Canada and requires several years of postgraduate training in an accredited advanced education program.

As an advanced dental specialist, Dr. Bortolussi concentrates his efforts on restoring teeth and creating natural-looking substitutes helping patients regain their normal, healthy function and appearance. This is accomplished through a variety of dental procedures, such as the fabrication of crowns, bridges, complete dentures, removable partial dentures and implant retained restorations. Because Dr. Bortolussi is trained to handle complex dental procedures, you can be assured that you will receive the treatment that is appropriate for you. We are committed to caring for your oral health with all the attention you deserve.

You will personally receive a Comprehensive Examination at your initial visit. The comprehensive examination is a process in which Dr. Bortolussi takes necessary records to provide a thorough diagnosis, prognosis and treatment plan. This examination will include:

Oral Cancer Screening

If you are a tobacco or smokeless tobacco user, you are at an increased danger of developing oral cancer. More than 8,000 deaths were attributed to oral cancer in the past year. We are committed to the prevention of oral cancer through the early identification of pre-cancerous conditions and provide oral cancer screenings at each preventive care appointment.

Periodontal Examination

Periodontal disease is a leading cause of tooth loss in Canada. Dr. Bortolussi will examine your gum tissues to ensure that gum disease is detected in its early stages. Because bone loss is a significant consideration in determining the outcome of cosmetic treatment, we take the health of your gum and bone tissues very seriously.

Occlusal Examination

The forces of your bite can sometimes affect the positioning of your jaw and teeth. Through minor polishing of the enamel surfaces or smoothing fillings of the teeth, Dr. Bortolussi can help redistribute and redirect the biting forces. Adjustments to chewing surfaces can often help eliminate headaches that occur as a result of irregular biting patterns.

Caries Exam

During the visual examination, Dr. Bortolussi locates areas of decay on chewing surfaces and between the teeth. Dr. Bortolussi uses both a clinical exam and x-ray (radiographic) findings to determine the most conservative treatment plan for your oral needs.

Temporo-Mandibular Joint (TMJ) Examination

Temporo-Mandibular Joint (TMJ) Examination (TMD) is a condition that can cause clicking of the jaw, limited function, pain in the neck, shoulder, upper back and pain in the face and ears. We provide conservative therapies that can help eliminate this painful and frustrating problem.
